Yay Kimberly! :cheer

[tazmom]

I want more points question. :raise I have 3 rooms I have to vacuum almost every day or they turn into one giant furball. Can I just keep adding on the points day after day? Or is it just today? Can I add the rooms I did last night onto todays points?

[inesperada]

Kimberly can change this if she wants since it's her month this month ;) but my answer would be definitely count what you did last night, but since it's not one of the daily tasks, to not keep adding it daily. :O

[klpmommy]

you vaccuum every day? :jawdrop and you are a messie? :lol I have rooms that turn into furballs, too, I just ignore them. :O I have two dogs & two cats & they all shed. :/

but to answer your question, you can count them today & on a catch up day, but not every day.

and remember, this is a challenge where everything is made up & the points don't matter. ;)

[tazmom]

I am soooo a messy!!! :lol I'm really good at ignoring mess. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats too and one of the dogs is a chow/shepard mix, so there's fur everywhere here. The vacuuming thing has only been for the last 2 weeks or so. I have a lot of extra time and energy right now, b/c of winter break at school. Last night was my first day of the semester, so expect me to slow down soon.

I know the points don't matter, they just make me feel good. I'm totally ok with just today. I was just having a selfish with points moment. ;)

[RealLifeMama]

I am back!

I am so impressed with all you are doing. Although I found it much easier to keep up with the house when I was not on GCM so much. :hiding

Just for you, I will vacuum my bedroom. :) If you can do it, I can do it!
I am logging off (in a minute ;) ) and I will not come back until my list is done!

[klpmommy]

Michelle, one of our dogs is part chow, too & she is the worst offender in the shedding department.

Amy, glad to see you. :hug

OK, so my list is not done. The children and I made gingerbread cookie dough instead. :bag
*but* I felt like my comment my have been misinterpreted, so I wanted to clarify.
I meant more like I see you all working hard doing the vacuuming and all, and I am inspired and but also want to commiserate. Sort of a "we are fighting this battle together!"
